GFGU GetFugu Inc (CE)

CTIA WIRELESS 2010 -- Getfugu, Inc. (OTCBB: GFGU), the next generation mobile search tool, announced today it is partnering with A Squared (A2) Entertainment to develop mobile applications, which will be centered around the Getfugu technology. This new partnership will extend the content currently being created by A2 Entertainment and one of its main distribution channels, AOL.

"We went to Getfugu and introduced them to our current roster of projects. In an extremely short time, they produced an application that blew us away," said A2 Entertainment co-founder and CEO Andy Heyward. "Not only did it extend the identity of the program, but they presented several new and interesting twists to the project. Getfugu's team produced the most innovative work we've ever seen on mobile phones."

As part of the agreement, Getfugu will develop an interface laced with video, educational and game content currently being produced by A2 Entertainment. Getfugu will provide applications designed for multiple mobile platforms, submit the application to the various platform app stores and manage the backend for the project.

"A2 Entertainment features the work of Andy and Amy Heyward, two of the most prolific content developers in the world. Their creative content for children brings new definition to the children's entertainment market," said Carl Freer, president of Getfugu Inc.

The first project to be developed will be based on "Secret Millionaire's Club," a new animated series created by A2 Entertainment in partnership with legendary American businessman, Warren Buffett, to teach kids about business and how the world around them works.

Mobile telephones are now an integral part of kids' lives. In fact, 22 percent of young children own a mobile phone (ages 6-9), 60 percent of teenagers (ages 10-14), and 84 percent of teenagers (ages 15-18). Mobile phone companies are now marketing to younger children with colourful, kid-friendly devices with easy-to-use features.

"There is much we can do together with Andy and Amy. Their vision is incredibly exciting and opens the door to an unlimited number of possibilities," said Freer. "It is an honor to be able to work with them."

Getfugu provides a compelling business opportunity for advertisers, drawing consumers closer to a branded experience. With Getfugu's ARL and VRL technology, customers can find a business location simply by taking a picture of a logo or speaking its name into their phone.

Using their mobile phone's GPS capabilities, Getfugu can then provide detailed contact information and points the way on either a map or reality view. The application also points out other Getfugu-enabled businesses in the immediate area, providing for a more dynamic experience for every cell phone user.

The free Getfugu application is available at http://www.getfugu.com.
